Modiyfing A Model

Introduction

This example first generates a basic model, then modifies the resulting model in various ways.

By importing an ONNX graph into the ONNX GraphSurgeon IR, it is possible to modify virtually every aspect of the graph. We can then export the modified IR back to ONNX.

Running the example

1. Generate a model with several nodes and save it to model.onnx by running:

   bashCopy

   python3 generate.py
   

   The generated model computes Y = x0 + (a * x1 + b):

2. Modify the model in various ways, and save it to modified.onnx by running:

   bashCopy

   python3 modify.py
   

   This script does the following:

   • Removes the b input of the first Add node
   • Changes the first Add to a LeakyRelu
   • Adds an Identity node after the first Add
   • Changes the output of the graph to be the output of the Identity node
   • Runs cleanup() which removes the x0 tensor and second Add node due to the previous change to the graph outputs.

   The resulting graph computes identity_out = leaky_relu(a * x1):
